Ok guys, I have a 1997 Eclipse GST that runs fine. I got DSMlink FINALLY installed and working. Its the 95 ECU with the V.3 Chip. Everything connects perfectly. I zeroed out everything as it was pre owned. The 95-96 cam sensor is checked. Swapped plugs the correct way. All in all the car runs perfect, other then one thing. The car Starts up then immediatly wants to die but doesnt, most of the time. I've been searching though the treads for a few hours a day for a few days and no luck. It doesn't matter if its cold or warm, does the same thing. Maybe i'm forgetting something in link. I'm using the correct software for the chip too. Thanks in advanced. (oh, when I hook the stock 97 ECU it fires right up the normal way.)

Its not letting me upload any videos right now. I do have a log I can attach as well but will be a little bit.
 
First off i would check to make sure you log your battery voltage but since its fine when you switch back, it could be your injbatteryadj is set wrong. it should be set like this:

7 2295
9 1260
12 915
14 690
16 555
19 495
 
I checked the numbers and it's exactly as you typed it. The website isn't loading on my laptop with my saved logs and settings so I'll upload tomorrow.

does it stay running if you give it throttle or no? and you should look into logging your wideband in link. ill try to find the thread on how to do it. also log CombinedFT, MAFraw, and closed loop. then you can use MAF Comp and get your air flow per rev up to about .25-.27 at idle. that should fix your idling problem.
 
I don't give any throttle. On the log it's a start and idle with no throttle. Then 2 step at the end to check and see if it would die at rapid rpm decrease.

I honestly think it's the biss. I just haven't gotten to mess with that yet. What do you think?
 
Never heard of it self adjusting do a blt and fix any leaks, many don't do it enough especially when ask have you done that test, that can rule out many problems including idle.
